Written Question
Children: Protection
Thursday 5th February 2026

Asked by: Ellie Chowns (Green Party - North Herefordshire)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what her expected timetable is for publication of the call for evidence on safeguarding children out of school settings.

Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The government launched the call for evidence on 29 May 2025 to better understand current practice in the out-of-school settings sector and invite views on possible approaches to further strengthen safeguarding standards.

This closed on 21 September 2025 and the department is currently analysing responses, with support from independent external analysts, given the significance of this issue.

The department also intends to carry out further engagement, including focus groups with parents and small providers, and sector roundtables with safeguarding experts and sector representatives, before issuing a full response.
